President Donald Trump left Mar-a-Lago this morning for what could be the 10th golf outing of his 8-week presidency.

Jim Fazio-designed, 18-hole site of “meetings and phone calls” today, according to the White House.

The president arrived at his Trump International Golf Club in unincorporated West Palm Beach at 8:37 a.m. and left at 12:10 p.m.

According to a press pool report, “White House tells us that POTUS will be having ‘meetings and phone calls’ while at the golf club. He may also step out to hit some golf balls, we’re told but not yet confirmed.”

Today is the 59th day of Trump’s presidency. The Palm Beach Post’s best estimate is that Trump has played golf nine times through Saturday. If he played today and it is indeed his 10th golf outing, that’s a rate of once every 5.9 days.

Here’s a rundown of previous occasions where President Trump appeared to be playing golf:
